Ch. 156..160: My Wife Is A Hacker Chapter 156-160

Chapter 156

mr. Riddle Sr.

sighed and decided to give Nicole some more time when he thought of how hard Nicole had been trying to learn lately. He took a deep breath, his tiredness apparent.

“Ask Nicole if she returns to the old house this weekend.” Damien nodded respectfully.

As mr. Riddle Sr.

wearily waved his hand, Damien left the room and gently closed the door. “What’s going on, Damien? What did Dad say to you?” Dillon asked.

He was standing outside the door when Damien came out.

His father used to talk to Damien alone, but it had never been this long. Dillon was incompetent and greedy, and Damien had always been looking down on him.” Nothing, but the Riddle Corporation seems in need of change.” Damien lamented and had to admit that he had misjudged.

He, at first, thought Sean was the only capable child coming out of his father’s fourth wife, not expecting that Nicole, who had just returned, had also gotten a foothold in the family.

When Dillon heard that, he was delighted, thinking that his father was finally going to get the company’s CEO replaced. Dillon looked at Damien from behind with contempt, but he did not dare to go in and disturb his father.

So, he went back to his room and said to Karen, “Our daughter, Snow, has been doing well.

Damien has just told me that there will be a change of CEO in Riddle Corporation.

I guess Father will probably recommend me for the position.

After all, if we got that piece of land, it would be because of Nicole’s relationship with Jared.” 1 “Have we gotten that land?” Karen was overjoyed. Dillon shook his head.

“Not yet, but we will know in about a week.

Ask Snow to work harder.

I have got to get credit for this.

After I become the company’s CEO, I will immediately buy you that sapphire necklace that you have been eyeing for a long time.” Karen was jumping for joy.

She grabbed her mobile phone and called Snow, exhorting her not to slacken off but work harder on Jared.

1 Snow felt puzzled on the other end of the phone, wondering if Harvey had put in a good word for her family.

But the last time she was in the principal’s office , Harvey clearly did not give a damn.

Maybe Harvey felt sorry for her and had talked with mr. Ellison after he got the news.

After all, mr. Ellison and mr. Wyance knew each other. After hanging up, Snow could not hold back her excitement.

She wanted to see Harvey but was a little hesitant.

At last, she gritted her teeth and called Yvana, using a pearl bracelet to buy Yvana’s favor to help sound out mr. Wyance.

Yvana quickly replied that mr. Wyance was indeed more biased toward the Riddle Corporation. Snow could almost be certain that it was definitely Harvey who secretly helped them.

After all, who else but he could have such a significant influence? Snow would never know that mr. Wyance was just angry with the McCarthy family because they caused the delay for him in seeing Nicole. She sat on her bed and started fantasizing that Harvey must have been too tired lately, and that was why he was cold to her.

She figured she had to show him more concern.

To show her thoughtfulness, she planned to cook something and bring it to Harvey for lunch tomorrow.

Snow had not been so relaxed for a long time.

She smiled and called Karen back to reassure her, saying confidently that mr. Wyance was fonder of the Riddle family. Karen was elated, turned around, and told Dillon, “It was really Harvey who helped us.

I have also heard that mr. Wyance favors the Riddle family more.

That piece of land will be ours.”

 

Chapter 157

Dillon was euphoric. “Is what you say true? Snow has really done it; she has won over Harvey to lielp us!” He knew it-Damien had been behaving so strangely because he was jealous.

“Harvey isn’t an ordinary guy, but Mr. Ellison’s designated heir. If Snow can really win him over, we will find favor with Mr. Ellison.” Karen was excited.

Dillon jumped for joy when he heard the news as if he had seen a bright future at Riddle Corporation beckoning to him. He was indescribably excited.

“Karen, you have given birth to a wonderful daughter! You have got to treat Snow better from now on.”

Karen rolled her eyes and said, “I don’t need you to remind me. I have given her a diamond necklace just so Harvey will take a liking to Snow, and she could marry into the Ell’ison family.”

Dillon gave Karen a peck on her cheek. “It is so thoughtful of you.” Karen blushed. “What are you doing, old man? Let me go to get a shower first.” Watching Karen enter the bathroom, Dillon lay down on the comfortable large bed as if he saw Mr. Riddle Sr.’s expression of approval and the envious look of Damien and Sean. He wanted to get to that top position as soon as possible and feel what it was like to give orders.

Dillon could not help but guffaw at the thought of it. His lack of competence caused him to be suppressed for the first half of his life, and now he could finally be emancipated. He could not wait any longer. Because of the big mouths of Dillon and Karen, soon the entire Riddle family knew that it was Snow who got Harvey’s help to win the tender.

Mr. Riddle Sr. raised his eyebrows in doubt as he listened to his servant recounting what Dillon had said. They sounded so confident and convincing , making Mr. Riddle Sr. wonder if it was really Snow who helped the Riddle family. But thinking that Snow grew up and excelled in both academics and conduct,

and her relationship between Snow and Harvey at school, Mr. Riddle Sr. felt pleased. It would be wonderful if it were indeed because of Snow, as it meant that Snow and Harvey had a steady relationship, from which the Riddle family had everything to gain.

With this in mind, Mr. Riddle Sr. closed his eyes. His servants left him, and the entire house became quiet.

As soon as Shawn returned to the Rogers family, he was summoned by Mr. Rogers Sr.

“Where have you been?”

“I was hanging out with old friends,” Shawn replied with his head low.

As Shawn grew up in a run-down small town, Mr. Rogers Sr. did not like Shawn to keep in contact with his old friends. Besides, he did not know any of Shawn’s old friends. So, he just briefly reproached Shawn.

“Don’t mingle with those people next time. Didn’t I already introduce you to many VIPs yesterday? Why don’t you go out with them?”

Shawn looked a little dejected. “They don’t really like hanging out with me.”

Mr. Rogers Sr.’s expression softened at hearing what Shawn had said. He patted Shawn on the hand and said softly, “I don’t blame you. It is okay to go out with your old friends, but you always have to remember that you are my son and absolutely must not do those things that are disreputable, understand?”

 

Chapter 158

When Shawn nodded obediently, only did Mr. Roger Sr. smile as he said, “That’s my son.”

Shawn lowered his head, but there was a hint of disdain in his eyes. “This old man had no idea I. existed until I was fifteen. When my ailing mother finally brought me to him, he insulted her. He only reluctantly acknowledged me as his son after receiving the DNA results.

‘At the beginning, when he was still healthy, he had treated me offhandedly, as if I was nobody to him.

‘Only when his health has deteriorated, and my elder brothers have gotten more and more out of his hand did I manage to earn a spot by playing the role of an obedient and well-behaved son and become his most trusted person among the Rogerses,’ Shawn thought as he lowered his eyes, the eyes that flashed with a stern look.

‘The power of the Rogers family is my only goal. With it, I will have the right to discard others in the future, and no one will be able to do so to me!’ With that in mind, Shawn helped Mr. Roger Sr. walk and said gently, “Father, are you feeling better today?”

Usually, with Mr. Roger Sr.’s stamina, he would not stay up past eight o’clock at night waiting for Shawn’s return. Instead, he would go to bed early and fall asleep while gasping for breath.

Nevertheless, although his health was on the verge of collapse, it had yet to reach the critical point. In other words, Mr. Roger Sr. might be able to live longer if his condition improved. And if he had only found out about his health a month later, he would only have had six months to live at most.

Apparently, Mr. Roger Sr. felt more energetic than usual today. “I took Ms. Riddle’s advice. After basking in the sun outside our manor in the afternoon, I feel much better,” he exclaimed joyfully.

However, when he thought of how hard Shawn had persuaded him to take more naps by telling him its benefits, he squinted his eyes slightly as he looked at Shawn with suspicions.

Shawn raised his head immediately, his eyes full of admiration and warmth. “That’s great. I’ll accompany Father to bask in the sun every day from now on!” The sight of his youthful face had lightened up Mr. Roger Sr. mentally and physically.

‘How could my youngest son, who has longed for fatherly love, possibly harm me? Perhaps he really thought that taking more breaks and naps would do good for me,’ Mr. Roger Sr. convinced himself. He smiled at Shawn. “Don’t you have to hang out with your friends?”

Shawn looked at him with his slightly curved eyes. “They aren’t as important as you, Father.”

Mr. Roger Sr.’s gaze remained at Shawn as his satisfaction toward him grew greater. With Shawn’s help, he stood up and said with a generous tone, “I won’t stop you from having fun with those friends in the future. But remember to come home early. Don’t make me wait till

late.”

Shawn could sense some displeasure in Mr. Roger Sr.’s words. He quickly nodded and said yes. Mr. Roger Sr. let Shawn help him to the door of his room and then said, “Okay. It’s getting late. You should return to your room early to rest.” After speaking, he quickly opened the door and went in. The wooden door was then heavily shut in front of Shawn, sending up a layer of

fine dust.

Shawn’s face was hidden in the shadows. No one could tell what he was thinking. Before he turned away, he let out a smirk.

In his bedroom, Mr. Roger Sr. opened the black packet from Nicole and carefully took out something from it. After looking at it thoughtfully for a while, he picked the pill and swallowed it. Actually, the sunlight was not effective enough to make him energetic. The main contributor was that small packet of medicine from Nicole.

He had reason to suspect that Nicole had some connection with the famous doctor he was looking for. There was only a simple serial number instead of a special anti-counterfeiting tag found on the pills. In other words, it was not a product manufactured by any pharmaceutical companies at present.

Chapter 159

Mr, Roger Sr. happened to have seen the pills made by that famous doctor. The characteristics of these pills were very similar to the ones made by that doctor.

However, compared with the slightly rough finished products before, these pills were much finer, and they seemed to be made by the same person in different periods. Hence, Mr. Roger Sr. suspected that that famous doctor must be in Hustuaburg, and the person was making rapid progress. At the thought of Jallen claiming he could not find that doctor yesterday, Mr. Roger Sr. smashed the glass angrily. ‘B*stard! Forget about the perfunctory response he gave me. Is he planning to kill me now?’

The more Mr. Roger Sr. thought about it, the angrier he became. A hint of brutal look appeared in his cloudy eyes as he dialed his phone with trembling fingers.

‘He has the audacity to try to harm me. Even though he’s my son, I won’t let this go.’ With that in mind, he spoke to his lawyer on the phone, “Hi, Dean. It’s me, Christo Rogers. I want to change my will.”

A nonchalant and indifferent voice came from the other end of the phone. “Mr. Rogers Sr., your eldest son and second son requested to get notified whenever you file a bid to change your will. But of course, it’s up to you. Do you want me to inform them?” Mr. Roger Sr. was so furious upon hearing that. He said “no need” coldly before he told the lawyer about his request.

Meanwhile, Lulu and June were startled by the sight of Nicole’s state when she returned to the dormitory. She was drenched from head to toe; every part of her was soaking wet. Without delay, Lulu and June wiped her with a towel. Nicole’s face was expressionless. She took the towel and put it aside before heading to the bathroom.

June and Lulu exchanged looks. They seemed to have sensed that something was wrong with Nicole’s mood.

Nicole took a hot shower. When she came out, her cheeks were pinkish from the steam. She landed her gaze on June and Lulu, who were looking at her worriedly, and said softly, “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

‘It was just rain.’

Only then did the two reluctantly retract their eyes.

Nicole sat on her bed. She took out the exercises instead of her laptop and planned to take a look again. Suddenly, her phone lit up. It was an anonymous message. (What did you give Christo Rogers?)

After receiving a few words from Nicole, the sender understood it and texted again. (He transferred a million dollars to us and asked for specific information on that medicine.] Nicole paused for a second, thinking she should have known that those wielding power in the prominent families in Northon were perceptive. She replied, (Reject the request and refund the money.) The person texting her agreed without hesitation.

After a brief pondering, Nicole asked, [Are there any assignments recently?] The person seemed a little surprised. (There are always jobs coming in with most of them specifically asking for you. But I’ve turned them down since you want to take a break.”

After a few seconds of silence, she typed a few words. (When can I see Carl?]

The person took a while to reply to her. (I couldn’t find out the one tracking you. Please wait for a little longer. I don’t want to take risks by letting you meet.)

Nicole knew that it was his decision. She would not risk Carl and her safety no matter what, so she gave an affirmative reply without hesitation.

There was no more incoming text, so Nicole put away her phone and continued to go through the exercises. However, the coldness in her eyes became even frosty.

Chapter 160

The next morning, Nicole got up early for her morning training routine and found that Harvey was not there. His absence did not bother her. She had made it clear to him yesterday, so it was normal for him to stop approaching her.

Nicole went to class nonchalantly. Due to some reasons, everyone in Class B today looked at her with weird looks.

Nicole ignored their gazes. Wayne whispered, “Nicole, how did you make Cain yield to you like that?”

‘Forget about Austin. Even the notorious Cain from the Northon Institute treats Nicole that way?!’

Not only did Cain have a decent family background, but he was also Celia Rowe’s boyfriend. Most people feared him for his notoriety. He did not bother to give face almost to anyone except Gary.

Nobody had seen Cain grovel like that. | Nicole glanced at Wayne. She did not feel hostile toward him. “Perhaps he’s afraid of getting beaten again,” said Nicole flatly.

Only then did Wayne recall how Nicole had defeated a dozen thugs on her own. He flinched at the thought of that and stopped talking.

Gary, at the row behind, squeezed the pen in his hand, frowning at Nicole’s back. He had beaten Cain countless times, but it was never enough to stop Cain, who had no shame. Therefore, Gary was not convinced when Nicole had claimed that all it took was giving Cain a beating to make him submissive. He felt that there must be some other reason. Nicole leaned against her chair’s back, spinning her pen. No one knew what was on her mind. Seeing that Gary’s attention was on Nicole again, Vivian broke the ruler in her hand. Her eyes were glum, and her pretty face was a little contorted with anger when she looked at Nicole. As if she had finally made up her mind on something, she suddenly threw the ruler in her hand away and left the classroom.

Vivian went directly to Ms. Emerson’s office. As the class monitor, she was very familiar with that place. She stood in front of Ms. Emerson’s desk and said calmly, “Ms. Emerson, I personally think we should not allow Nicole to stay in Class B. She’s a troublemaker, and her presence has affected our learning. Everyone has been talking about her instead of focusing on their monthly exam. It will affect the mentality of good students like us.” Her last sentence sounded like a threat as she looked at Ms. Emerson with a sense of pride.

Vivian Collins was one of the top students in Class B, so to Ms. Emerson, her words carried some weight. She was even appointed as the class monitor.

Vivian was confident that once she voiced her opinion, not to mention Nicole’s poor grades, Ms. Emerson would feel worried that Nicole could affect the overall class’s performance in the monthly test. “Therefore, it’s very likely that my words can get Nicole expelled from Class B!’ Vivian thought with a hidden smile on her face.

Upon hearing Vivian’s words, Ms. Emerson, who was reviewing today’s assignments, looked

at Vivian, the student she had always been proud of. Vivian lowered her eyes, and Ms. Emerson could not tell what she was thinking.

However, that did not stop Ms. Emerson from voicing her thought.

She put down the assignment she was reviewing and said, “Vivian, I’ve always been lenient to students who perform well academically like you, but I can’t tolerate you slandering your classmates.

“You mentioned that Nicole has affected others in their study. But I think she has a very good learning attitude. She even asked for new exercises a few days ago.

“You should calm down. Stop minding about what others have said. If you get swayed that easily, you should be responsible for your own exam results.” Although Ms. Emerson’s tone was gentle, her words

were imposing.
